Stat of this thread is now gone, so if you've done this...

Do an lsmod and see if you see sg, maybe sd_mod, scsi_mod, ide_cd.
Look at /etc/modules.conf (I think that's it - thngs changed in the last
decade or so).

Try just reading a cd first. Does the device have any king od "write
protect" switch?

Use cdrecord with some verbosity flags to get some clues. Are you
insertinb them with the correct face up? Don't laugh - with no names w/o
labels, ...

Use cdrecord to print some of the header info of the blank disc you're
trying to write. You'll need to RTFM - I don't have it in front of me
ATM.

Do you have another node that you can test a write on to see if the disc
is really OK? Hopefully that would be an RW disc.

Have you tried reorienting the device (horiz <-> vertical) to see if
that has an effect?

It sound like you'll need to leave the comfy confines of the GUI room to
solve this one.
